Tennessean Performance Series - The Royale
Customer Reviews
Best Saddle Ever!!
Hi Matt,I can't thank you for all your help with the Royale saddle.I have only started riding in it, and it is the most comfortable saddle ever with a very secure seat. The custom changes we discussed are working out well. I like the lower 3 1/2" cantle, suede seat, extra padding in the seat front, and the larger seat size. The first moment I sat in it, I thought, wow, this is comfortable, and secure. The 90 tree fits my horse well and the light weight (18 lbs) of the saddle makes it easy to handle. Love, love, love this saddle!! It will be easy to clean also. It is too soon to comment on durability.
Addendum to Best Saddle Ever
I forgot to mention that the Royale saddle is the third saddle I have purchased from National Bridle over the years. Their customer service is outstanding, guiding you in choosing the best options and choices for you and your horse, and even customizing the saddle to some extent to meet you and your horse's needs, in addition to making quality products. This is why I keep returning as a customer. Thank you, Matt, for your knowledge, suggestions, and ever present patience. I love riding in my new Royale saddle!
Exceptional Saddle
I was so impressed with every step of the process of buying this saddle. From the lengthy phone calls with Matt, the pictures, the tree blank, to the final saddle and it's timely delivery. I can't say enough good things about this! The saddle is so amazing, it changed my entire relationship with my horse. Quality materials, incredible craftsmanship, attention to details (mine and the saddle). I will never purchase a saddle anywhere else.
Hard to Fit!
Hi Matt I am writing to thank you so much for your knowledge and recommendations you made regarding my purchase of the TPS Royale. She has had at least 5 saddles that have not fit her, and hurt her back. I did not think you could fit a horse from just looking at photos. Her back has never been better, and it is soo comfy for me as a rider. I am so very grateful for the time you spent with me and for your helpful suggestions. My horse and I have a wonderful trusting partnership and it is due to the comfort of your saddle. Sincerely, Bonnie Krisiak and Mocha (Rocky Mountain Horse)
Royale Saddle
My wife and I recently purchased two of the Royale series saddles, Matt was great in helping with the fitting and customized the stirrup placement on my wife's saddle after she shared how her knees hurt after long rides and after he saw how she sat in the saddle and where her legs were positioned. Long story short, no more knee pain for her, we are thrilled with the saddles, they are very comfortable and fit our horses very well. Matt will be there for you after the saddle purchase as well, he wants you to be happy with the purchase. It is not a small investment, but compared to other custom made saddles it is a good deal and you really do get what you pay for.

I love this saddle; especially since it was fitted not just for my horse - but also for me! I had fractured my pelvis on two separate occasions and my previous saddle was no longer comfortable. NBS made sure that The Royale fit perfectly in every way. I ride everywhere and every chance I get. Thank you guys for giving me many more years of riding.
Tennessean Performance Series
I bought this saddle for my husband and he loves it. He can ride for hours without getting sore knees. His horse is very happy with the saddle also.
Love my Tennessean Royale!
Shortly after purchasing my Tennessean Royale to fit my new Racking horse, we logged about 26 miles a day for 3 days in a row, 2 weekends in a row. Neither me or my horse experienced any soreness! I've been riding for over 50 years and never experienced a more comfortable saddle. Not only is it functional, but it's beautiful. Working with Matt was a pleasure. He listened, gave good advice and made sure that the craftsmanship of my saddle was flawless. I highly recommend Matt and Tennessean!
